I do not use the installer, instead I download the archive and unpack into /opt/, which is a widely used convention for packages like qcad. On a server edition of ubuntu -- depending on how strict -no-gui works -- you may also have to install some X11 libraries on your own, because they are not part of the base. The ldd utility can help you find out which prerequisites are missing: "ldd /opt/qcad3/qcad-bin". Also "apt-cache search something" comes quite handy.
